Chhaki Suna has hit theatres today during the Raja season, bringing a fresh suspense thriller to Odia cinema. Starring Anubhav Mohanty in the lead, the film is the debut directorial venture of Manash Padhiary and has been eagerly awaited by fans looking for a proper murder mystery from Ollywood.

The story follows a sharp investigator who uses the childhood game of Chhaki Suna as an unconventional tool to track a serial killer. What begins as a clever strategy soon turns into a tense psychological game where the hunter and the hunted start blurring lines.

The narrative keeps the focus on the investigation and the mind games involved without relying on heavy action. Early audience reactions on X, Instagram, Facebook and BookMyShow have been largely positive.

If you enjoy smart investigative stories and atmospheric suspense over loud action, Chhaki Suna should work for you. Its biggest strength is the fresh concept and polished presentation that feels different from regular regional fare.

On the weaker side, being a debut film it carries the usual questions about consistent pacing and payoff in the later portions. The theatrical experience helps in feeling the tension, so it is worth watching on the big screen if you like the genre.
